Lyrics Tall Lover Man - June Carter Cash
One,
two,
three
Two
lovers
stood
in
the
white,
white
sand
Dark-eyed
maiden
and
her
tall
lover
man
With
surprise
and
pain
in
her
eyes
Clung
to
the
hand
of
her
tall
lover
man
"They′re
lyin'
to
me,
aren′t
they,
Jim?",
she
asked
him
"That
fair-haired
girl
with
those
blue,
blue
eyes
Is
not
your
wife,
is
she
Jim?"
And
with
tears
in
her
eyes
and
her
sad,
sad
cries
She
clung
to
the
hand
of
her
tall
lover
man
In
the
darkness,
he
let
go
off
her
hand
"I'm
not
to
blame,
it
was
a
game"
"'Cause
that
fair-haired
woman
is
my
wife"
"And
she
will
be
all
of
my
life"
"You′re
lyin′
to
me,
aren't
you
Jim?",
she
asked
him
"If
lovin′
me
was
a
sport,
then
your
life
will
be
short"
She
said
to
him,
"My
Jim"
And
the
blade
of
the
maid
struck
the
man
And
the
blood
flowed
in
the
sand
from
her
tall
lover
man
Two
lovers
lyin'
in
the
white,
white
sand
"I′ll
die
with
you,
my
tall
lover
man"
And
her
blade
found
its
mark
in
the
dark
She
clung
to
the
hand
of
her
tall
lover
man
"They're
lyin′
to
me,
aren't
they,
Jim?",
she
asked
him
"That
fair-haired
girl,
those
blue,
blue
eyes
Won't
be
your
wife,
my
Jim"
With
tears
in
her
eyes
and
sad,
sad
cries
She
died
in
the
sand
with
her
tall
lover
man
